Re: A couple of apps that are fully VO compliant
James, Actually it's fully accessible and does exactly what it claims to do. The only information it gives is the current temp and the high for the next five days. It's a minimal app. No clutter. You want more info go use weather bug or some other app that goes in depth. You want minimalist then Conditions is for you.

I can see enough to know there are graphics that show what it is going to be like each day and voiceover says nothing about these graphics. It does not even tell you graphics are there. So I don't even think you could label all of the possibilities since it doesn't tell you they are there. So it is too minimal for me and I like more details, not less anyway. JMO.

RE: A couple of apps that are fully VO compliant
Hi, In that case, I may have the right app. I thought I had the wrong one because its not accessible and I was told it was. I guess yu could slide your finger down to the row of days and then slide down to the temperature but if you don't slide down perfectly straight, there is no way to find out if you are on the right temperature for that day. It only gives the maximum and not the minimum. Not absolutely sure but, if I have the right app, its not even worth the dollar to me. I'm waiting for an answer on the name of the developer to see if for sure I have the right app. Ron Danvers -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of James Mannion Sent: Sunday, March 03, 2013 11:09 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: A couple of apps that are fully VO compliant I found conditions not to be completely accessible actually.

Re: A couple of apps that are fully VO compliant
I set my rotor to vertical navigation and flick right through the days and down to get the temp for that day.

Re: A couple of apps that are fully VO compliant
Hi, Out of completeness, to add to the link that Chuck supplied for VO Calendar, here are the current prices, the app description, and Keith's original comments for the two apps that he recommended (VO Calendar and Conditions). • VO Calendar ($9.99) by Devista B.V. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/vo-calendar/id508386832?mt=8 The first is called VO Calendar. Its a calendar app that is written specifically for blind users. Sort of high priced but worth it in my opinion. Anything that saves me time and aggravation is worth $10 in my book. Give it a look see. Developer's description: begin quote Do you use VoiceOver on your iPhone because of blindness or because you’re partially sighted? VO Calendar then is the calendar app of your choice. VO Calendar is a weekly calendar specifically designed to be used (only!) with VoiceOver. The result of this VoiceOver-only design is not only a smoother navigation through the app. It also makes it possible for the VoiceOver speech to give smart summaries depending on the context. This prevents you from having to go through each event individually. Existing events are automatically synchronized. If you prefer not to type, you can record voice memos instead. You can use VO Calendar with the VoiceOver gestures you are used to. However, there is an even faster way. With the screen being split into two halves you can scan the right half of the screen with your right thumb. A single tap with your left thumb then is enough to activate the concerning function. After getting used to you will find out this helps you to browse through your calendar even quicker. end quote • Conditions — Beautiful Weather Info on the Go! ($0.99) by Rubber Duck Software https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/conditions-beautiful-weather/id543298335?mt=8 The second app is called Conditions. It's a very simple weather app that is also fully VO compatible. It's 99 cents and worth throwing a buck at the programmer just because he included VO in his thoughts while writing this app. Heard him on a podcast giving Marco Armant the credit for turning him on to VO. Developer's description: begin quote Conditions for iOS makes checking the weather on the go simple, fun and beautiful. Many weather apps clutter their interface and overload their users with tons of details that aren't all that useful. Conditions only shows you the most important information about what it's like outside right now, wherever you are, anywhere in the world. === 5 Day Forecast === Conditions displays a simple, 5 day forecast indicating what it's going to be like outside each day, including the temperature. === Simply simpler === You can easily tap anywhere on the face of Conditions to toggle it into an even simpler more, showing only what it's like outside right now. === Day Night === Conditions knows when it's dark outside and will automatically adjust it's look and feel to match the time of day. end quote HTH. By the way, I read an interesting review about the Conditions weather app that stated it was a beautifully minimalist and accurate weather app -- unless users were using a pirated version. Here's the followup description of what happens then. That is, unless you download it illegally. Then it actually becomes quite inaccurate, displaying a picture of a pirate head and a weather forecast of ‘ARRmageddon 666 degrees’ with daily fire and brimstone showers. Every day. Thanks, Keith, for the recommendations. Cheers, Esther -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

RE: A couple of apps that are fully VO compliant
Hi Keith, I'm doing well with the VO calendar. I have one question so far. How do you stop recording or do you have to let it run.

Re: A couple of apps that are fully VO compliant
I found conditions not to be completely accessible actually. I can see enough to know there are graphics that show what it is going to be like each day and voiceover says nothing about these graphics. It does not even tell you graphics are there. So I don't even think you could label all of the possibilities since it doesn't tell you they are there. So it is too minimal for me and I like more details, not less anyway. JMO. I guess this developer seems to think giving details in a weather app is not desired.

Re: A couple of apps that are fully VO compliant
Hi there, I saw the description of the Vo calender app in the app store and the only thing that could maybe be of interest is the voice note feature, but my question is: Why would we use this reinvention of the wheel when there's a perfectly working calendar with different views, month, week, day and even list views? To me this sounds like an app that falls into the category of unnecessary reinventions of the wheel specially made for the blind. /Krister 2 mar 2013 kl. 01:13 skrev Keith Watson lnx...@gmail.com: HI, I have not seen any chatter about these apps on the list so I thought I would mention them.

Re: A couple of apps that are fully VO compliant
hi, what I have heard from the developper is that the app is designed for the new visually impaired iphone user. add events is done via a wizard principe. whatever for the normal ios users the standard calendar app works perfectly eith some weird quirks. hopefully apple fix the bug that vo will announce the selected calendars correctly. this the only thing that bother me :) With kind regards, -Peter Durieux Op 2-mrt.-2013 om 12:07 heeft Krister Ekstrom kris...@kristersplace.com het volgende geschreven: Hi there, I saw the description of the Vo calender app in the app store and the only thing that could maybe be of interest is the voice note feature, but my question is: Why would we use this reinvention of the wheel when there's a perfectly working calendar with different views, month, week, day and even list views?

Re: A couple of apps that are fully VO compliant
There are like a million apps in the App Store, so of course there's a lot of redundancy. I think the better question is how blind people find this useful and then each person can decide if it's truly redundant for them or not.

Re: A couple of apps that are fully VO compliant
Krister, I agree, sort of. Yes the built in Calendar app is accessible. But no it does not have a week view. It only has list, day and month. And when in month it only tells you that you have something scheduled on a particular day, not what is scheduled. I like the VO Calendar app as I can get a lot of data about my week very quickly. By just running my thumb down the screen I can hear all the appointments that I have scheduled for that week. Do I not like the higher price of the app? Sure I don't. Again it's one of these blind specific apps that only have a niche with our kind. The reason I chose to buy this one was because of the amount of time I will save with it. I consider it to be worth the return on investment by the time it will save me not having to spend working through the regular calendar app. Time is money after all.

Re: A couple of apps that are fully VO compliant
Hi, I agree with Keith on this one. I have purchased the app and am happy with my purchase. It's not an app you absolutely need, as the inbuilt calendar is fully accessible. However, the efficiency that this app provides is well worth it in my opinion. If you rely on the calendar a lot, as I do for work then this app is probably worth it. It's much faster to enter appointments and to get your weekly overview. The less time I spend fiddling with the phone, the more time I have to do what I am actually being paid for. :-) Sent with Siri from Brett's iPhone On 03/03/2013, at 6:06 AM, Keith Watson lnx...@gmail.com wrote: Krister, I agree, sort of.

Re: A couple of apps that are fully VO compliant
Hi Keith, Thanks for pointing out these apps. I had not heard of either of them before you mentioned them. I am sure I will go get the conditions app. I would consider the other one.

Forgive me if they have been talked about and I missed the threads. The first is called VO Calendar. Its a calendar app that is written specifically for blind users. Sort of high priced but worth it in my opinion. Anything that saves me time and aggravation is worth $10 in my book. Give it a look see. The second app is called Conditions. It's a very simple weather app that is also fully VO compatible. It's 99 cents and worth throwing a buck at the programmer just because he included VO in his thoughts while writing this app. Heard him on a podcast giving Marco Armant the credit for turning him on to VO.
